Federal Drug Crimes

Arizona Lawyers — When You're Facing Federal Drug Charges

When the U.S. government decides to prosecute you for a drug crime, the situation is serious. The government has nearly unlimited resources it uses to make people pay for the crimes they have allegedly committed. It's not uncommon to see an entire team of federal prosecutors and their support staff in the courtroom during a drug crime trial — all working together to make sure you go to prison. That's why you need an experienced attorney with the capacity to handle complex, high-stakes federal drug crimes.

At Cates, Hanson, Sargeant & Schoenau, in Phoenix, we have what it takes. Our team of lawyers has 100 years of combined experience. We have all handled complex cases involving multiple issues of law and fact. We are forceful litigators who can't be intimidated by a team of federal prosecutors.

Regardless of the seriousness of the charges you face, the type of drug — marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin — or the situation you have experienced, we can help:

Under the federal sentencing guidelines, a conviction for many federal drug charges carries a harsh mandatory sentence in federal prison. And, in the federal system, there are limited opportunities for parole.

If You Learn You Are Being Investigated

If you learn that you are being investigated by the FBI, the DEA or another federal agency for involvement in a federal drug crime, the best approach it to talk with a lawyer right away — even before a federal indictment. Working with an attorney early in the process can help protect your rights. It also gives you the opportunity to build a strong defense and, possibly, even prevent charges from ever being filed.

But, if you have already been arrested for a federal drug crime, it's not too late.
